#flachbacks

Blueberry's stats are a mix between Papyrus's and Frisk's. Normally, his stats would mirror Papyrus's perfectly.

This is a mix between Undertale, Underfell, and FlowerFell for this chapter. I wanted to give Toriel time to develop in this chapter, and for her and Blueberry to have time together. So I mixed all those three AU's to give me time for that.

Having said that, this is not going as canon - for Undertale, Flowerfell or Underfell. Or at least, not fully like how they went. I may also go out of order on some events.

-Start Chapter-

Stepping into the new room, the doors closing behind him, he took in the new sights.

It was still dark, but a light lit up a section in the middle of the room. Walking closer to the light, he was able to hear soft crying.

'D-N-- W-R-Y BluEbErRY!' A ever changing voice called out to him in the back of his mind.

'Isn-- m- B-- -o -oo-l?' A lazy voice laughed soon after.

It made him feel like he was going insane, he's just hoping that it is his memories coming back and it is not all in his head. 'Blueberry?' He pouted, did he look like a blueberry or was the person behind the voice talking about a blueberry? No, it sounded like it was his name, it was familiar but still felt so wrong and right at the same time. 'What a...unique name I have then.'

A little golden flower Monster was in the ground crying, leaves over it's little face. It's petals were torn and it looked like it had just been in a fight, and lost more then once.

"Hello!" The flower jerked up with a gasp, tear marks on it's little face. "You look hurt, do you need assistance?" Blueberry couldn't help but asked concerned.

"W-What?!" The flower then tried to growl, trying to look threatening. "W-Who are you?! I-If you don't leave me alone I'll-I'll-!"

"Please calm down!" Blueberry raised his hands in a calming manner. "I am Blueberry...I think." He muttered the last part to himself before going on in a louder voice. "I just wanted to see if you needed any help."

"Help?!" The Flower's voice was like a child's, and with the way it was trying to look like a big bad Monster made it look like one as well. "Who are you trying to fool?! I'm not some little boy that can be tricked like this!"

And before Blueberry could say a thing, the flower forced his SOUL out in the open. Both gasped, not expecting a Red right-side human SOUL to come out of the skeleton Monster's chest. 'The Voice was telling the truth...' Blueberry reached out, but stopping just before he could touch the bright SOUL. 'The red human SOUL of Determination!'

"W-How!?"The Flower gasped, and then quickly hit CHECK to see just what was going on.

Blueberry?

LV: 1

HP: 12/20

MPP: 680/680 - Not Usable

AT: 20

DF: 20

EXP: 0

- A lost skeleton Monster with a human SOUL for reasons unknown, is looking for someone important.

- Wants to know if you are okay and need any help? You look hurt.

[EFF: ?????] [FACT: ErORR]

Flinching back, the flower squinted at the Error sign before sighing, his whole body shaking in disbelief. "Y-You really want to help me?"

Blueberry's eyes narrowed as he looked down at the buttons right in front of him. He knew what they are and what they meant, but he never remembered using them before. He lifted a hand, not noticing the flower tensing up, and touched the ACT button. Four options popped up right after.

-Cheer Up

-Insult

-Joke

-Flirt

Blinking at all the different options, Blueberry grinned and slapped one.

-Cheer Up

"Do not worry Little Flower!" Blueberry opened his arms, as if waiting for a hug. "I, Blueberry, truly want to help you!" He gave the bewildered Flower a wink. "I do not wish to FIGHT you!"

A hesitated smile worked it's way up the flowers face. "You don't want to fight...?" Little pettlets fluttered alive, sprinkling over the little red SOUL. Seeing that Blueberry didn't even move away from his move shocked the flower, and made him wonder where this Monster even came from.

-Your HP has been restored!

-HP: 20/20

Blueberry's grin grew as he shook his head, pressing the MERCY button, much to the other's shock.

Feeling numb, the flower accepted Mercy for the first time. "Howdy...I'm Flowey." Was all Flowey could say, tear starting to form. 'Mercy....A Monster just gave me Mercy!'

"Nice to meet you Flowey." Blueberry knelt down, giving the other a bright smile. "Do you need any help?" Seeing Flowey shake his head softly, a look of awe on his face, Blueberry decided to ask a question that he really needed to know. "Do you know the way out of here?"

"Way out?" Flowey frowned his brows, not understanding. "Do you mean the out of the RUINS?"

"Well, yes, but no." Blueberry pointed up, smile never leaving his face. "I mean out. I need to get above ground!"

"What?!" Flowey choked in disbelief. "Every Monster wants that! And with your SOUL they'll have it!" Flowey has been given Mercy by this Monster, the least he can do is warn the other. "You may have been in the RUINS for a long time to not know, but all they need is one more human SOUL to break the barrier! And you have what they need!"

"Ah! But I haven't lived in the RUINS at all!" Blueberry happily pointed out, not feeling saddened at all by Flowey's warnings. "I woke up in a bed of golden flowers just in the other room." He pointed to where the doors were, making Flowey's eyes widened. "I'm pretty sure I fell down here. And I need to get out, someone is looking for me and I have to find them!"

'A Monster with a human SOUL...that lived on the surface.' It sounded insane...'But,' Flowey narrowed his eyes, looking the other up and down and taking in how he looked, 'what if more Monsters hid so they weren't pushed down here and sealed?' That made terrible sense. A few Monsters hiding out as the others were sealed, then forced to hide out for the rest of their lives so they weren't dusted on sight. And Blueberry did look like he was in some sort of fight, or that he was being hunted by something if Flowey was right, so he ran up the mountain and fell in from running away.

"Even still!" Flowey sputtered, trying to make the other understand. "You would have to get past her to get out of the RUINS, and there is no way you will walk out of that alive!" Then his eyes widened, realizing what time it was. Face paling, he quickly urged the other Monster to leave. "You have to go! If you stay here she'll-"

"Well, well." A voice chuckled. "What do we have here?"

Flowey whimpered, hiding his face in his leaves. Blueberry blinked, seeing white furry feet a couple feet away. Looking up, he gave the new Monster a sweet smile. "Hello!"

The big Monster, was a goat Monster. Wearing a robe of red, black, and gold with the symbol of the royal family on it - or in fact, the symbol of the Queen. Her yellow and red eyes starred down at him wide eyed, but all Blueberry could concentrate on - was that this all felt wrong.

'I-w-n--t--be-o--a-ro---u--d--f-r--t-e-Q-een!'

Shaking off her shocked look, she gave a twisted smile. "Hello little one, what are you doing here? I have never seen you here."

Not seeing Flowey shaking his head at him, Blueberry stood up with a bright smile. "I woke up in the flowers not to far from here!" Starry eyes brightened as they stared up at the other, watching as her face twisted into shock and confusion. "My name is Blueberry! May I ask you name?"

A large hand went to her chest, something that Blueberry didn't understand swimming in her eyes. "I...I am Toriel, the guardian of the RUINS."

"It's nice to meet you Ms. Toriel!" Holding out a hand in greeting, he heard Flowey gasp when Toriel laughed. "Oh! Such a sweet little one! So innocent!" Blueberry slowly put down his hand as she laughed, not really understanding why she was. "And you woke in the flower bed?! Oh, my!" Giggling she gestured for him to follow her. "You must be so confused Sweet One, come I will show you how things are done here."

And with that, she turned around and walked out of the room.

"You shouldn't follow her!" Blueberry turned his head to look down at Flowey. "She'll kill you!"

"Nonsense!" Blueberry knelt down, softly patting Flowey's head. "Everything will be fine, you'll see!"

"Please don't leave!" Flowey knew he was losing the battle, but he had to try. "I can't see her-"

"Then why don't you come with me?" Blueberry asked, glancing around until he saw something he could use. Face lighting up, he raised a finger to the smaller one. "Wait here!"

Watching the skeleton scurry off into a corner, Flowey slowly blinked. 'He...wants me to go with him?' Then before he knew it, Blueberry was back, and a old boot in his hands. "Here we go!"

Now, Flowey could have told him no, he did not want to go with him. But seeing that bright smile, one he had never seen before in this dark world, he found he couldn't. He let the other plant him inside the boot, all the while praying that this world of Kill or be Killed wouldn't kill of that smile. A Monster with no LV or EXP, it was unheard of! Yet here he was, carrying Flowey close to his chest.

A light caught Blueberry's eyes before he could walk into the next room. Blinking, he turned to see...a glowing star?

Glancing around, he shrugged and lightly touched it to Flowey's shock. 'He can see them too?!'

-SAVE?

-Yes  -No

Without really thinking about it, he clicks yes. He had nothing to loose at this point, so why not?

-SAVED

"Huh?" Blueberry glanced down at Flowey, confusion in his eyes. "What is this Flowey? Does it do anything?"

Flowey gulped, hoping he was wrong about this but knew he wasn't. 'Will you end up just like Them?' Shaking that though from his head, he answered softly. "That's a SAVE point. With Determination...Well..."  Flowey choked, not wanting to say anything. It was if he said anything, that means it would come true.

Hands gently touched his petals, making him look up at Starry eyes gently looking down at him, a soft smile growing on the face. "Don't worry, you can tell me whenever you are ready to!" With that, the small skeleton looked forward and started walking into the new room. "There is no rush!"

'I really hope your right.' Flowey's mind went to the red SOUL, thinking of another who had the same SOUL. 'They.....They have the same smile.' It broke him, but filled him with so much hope. Hoping that this Monster could change what the first human could not.

'Making Friends With Flowey Fills You With Determination.'

-In The Next Room-

"Ah, there you are Sweet One." Toriel smiled when she saw the little skeleton Monster had actually listened to her. When the little skeleton beamed up at her, her SOUL clinched. Such a innocent and naive little Monster. And for one to just show up on the flower bed? The only way besides falling was going through her, so that meant he fell through the hole. 'A innocent Monster from above, why have you came down here?'

Shaking those thoughts for later, she looked back to Blueberry. He was holding a ratty old boot that held that flower monster, clothing torn. The only thing that looked fine was the scarf. But when he looked up at her those starry eyes, that held nothing but trust in them-'It is the same,' Toriel realized with horror. 'He is just like the human children that fell before.'

"Ms. Toriel?" Jolting out of her thoughts, she looked down to see Blueberry looking worriedly up at her. "Are you okay?"

"Yes, of course!" Giving him a smile, she gestured to the her side, which were some buttons. "The Underground is filled with traps and puzzles Sweet One, you need to be careful." Picking up a nearby rock, she placed it on the wrong button. Blueberry gasped when a huge spike came out of it.

"You see Sweet One, you have to be careful." Toriel couldn't help but giggle at the awed look she got as she went through the puzzle, making the door unlock. It was almost like when her own children were-No, no. She should not think on that now. There was someone that needed her right now. "But do not worry, I will teach you all you need to know."

"Thank you Ms. Toriel!" Blueberry gave a eye closed smile, missing the flinch from the tall goat Monster. "I appreciate it!"

Flowey gulped, knowing what she was getting at while Blueberry was oblivious. 'Fighting, to kill.' He lowered his head, not wanting to even think about the one who gave him Mercy killing others. 'But..' He glanced up at the skeleton, who was now bouncing after Toriel into the next room. 'Would he even try to FIGHT?'

For some reason he couldn't see this Monster raising a hand against another no matter what. Flowey didn't know if he liked that or not.

"I have left instructions for you to follow." Blueberry's eyes brightened as Toriel pointed to the switches. "I will wait at the end for you Sweet One."

"Puzzles~" Blueberry's eyes twirled and sparkled. For some reason the thought of all kinds of puzzles filled him with so much joy. He really wanted to finish it all on his own, to maybe make one all on his own.

Seeing the Monster all but run to the switch made Toriel smile, one less twisted then her usual ones before it fell. This was another Monster, not a human child....But yet she felt protective all the same. There was no way that he could fake that kind of innocence, it surrounded him. He also did not have the coloring to fit in with all the other Monsters. His clothing, while torn, were lighter colors unlike any in the underground. Last she checked - or heard from the Spiders - everyone still wore red, black, and maybe gold. Dark colors, not white and blues.

As she walked to the end of the hall, she wondered just what made this Monster different from all others, and what will happen at the end. Because if he is like the human children...then that meant....

"Be careful!" Flowey scolded lightly when Blueberry jumped up to pull a lever that had arrows pointing to it. "Don't forget to read the directions."

"Oh!" Blueberry pulled back his hand, and once his feet touched the ground he shot off to the written directions. "Than you for reminding me!"

Flowey cleared his throat, face flushing lightly. "Y-Your welcome...."

-Pull the lever to the left.

Looking over, the one with the arrows was the one on the right. 'It was a trick!' Blueberry narrowed his eyes, pouting. 'A very clever trick indeed!' While he pulled the lever on the left, Blueberry made a note to read directions before trying to do a puzzle, these could hurt him and others after all if he didn't go over them carefully.

When he was done pulling down the levers needed, he bounded over to where Toriel stood. "I did it Ms. Toriel!" He puffed out his chest, a wide grin over his face. "I solved your puzzle!"

Without thinking about what she was doing, she softly patted the skull in front of her. "I saw! Good job Sweet O-" Her giggles caught in her throat, realizing what she was doing. She had never did this with the others, so why was she being...He reminded of her of the old underground. That is why she was like this. When things were brighter. Looking down at Blueberry, who had yet to notice anything wrong and nuzzling into her hand, she saw what the underground could have been. How Monsters could have been.

It hurt her all the more, yet made her want to keep this innocence safe from all. But he is a Monster, not a human. He had no real need for her to protect him, he will learn. Taking her hand off his head, making him smile up at her and making her SOUL twist, she turned around to go into the next room.

To Flowey, seeing her smile and giggle like that, patting Blueberry's head like that brought back memories. So many happy memories that he though he would never even think about again. She had never acted like this before, usually she was more aggressive. 'Is it because he is a Monster?' Flowey titled his head in confusion. 'But why would that be? I've seen her dust Monsters for just getting in her way before.'

"Come Sweet One, to the next lesson." Blueberry gave a nod, following her into the next room.

He blinked when they first walked in and looked around Toriel, there was a training dummy put up. It looked very beaten up and banged up, stitched all around to make sure it didn't fall apart. Toriel stood a few feet away and directed him to stand in front of the dummy. With a shrug, he put Flowey down and did as told.

Flowey knew what was coming, and feared what Toriel would do once Blueberry's SOUL came out. Monsters didn't usually need to bring their SOUL to fight in a confrontation, but Blueberry's was human. And human's always came out because they had no magic, or not enough of it. And while Blueberry had quite a bit of magic, for some reason he couldn't use it externally. It was like it was trapped in him, unable to tap into it to form it into a attack. So for now all Flowey could do was pray that Toriel wouldn't burn the skeleton to dust once his SOUL comes out.

"Now Sweet One, other Monsters will want to FIGHT." Toriel pointed to the Dummy. "The Dummy will start a FIGHT, and I want you to FIGHT him." She backed away a bit. "Go on then."

Frowning his brow, Blueberry didn't really understand. He didn't want to hurt anyone, so why should he fight the dummy? Turning to the Dummy, his SOUL came out in the open. Red shined as the buttons came alive in front of him, showing his options. Looking at the FIGHT button, it sickened him in ways he never imagined. As he was thinking, he never noticed Toriel's stricken expression, the way she stared at the little red SOUL in front of him.

'A human SOUL!' One hand went to her chest, the other covered her mouth. Muffling the horrified gasp that she couldn't hold back. She watched the little SOUL float in front of the Monster with wide eyes, not able to look away. 'In a Monster?! Did they experiment on Monsters now?! No, even in the RUINS I would have heard whispers of that.' Taking in a deep breath, trying to calm her SOUL down. 'This poor little one, he truly is like the human children! He fell from above, he had too!' It blew her mind that some Monsters may have hidden above for so long, but she had proof in front of her. Maybe some Monsters they thought that died in the War actually lived and hid, and have stayed hidden to live. But that didn't explain the human SOUL. But that did not matter to her in the end, all that mattered was this Blueberry was the same as the other six human children that fell. 'He needs to be protected. The other Monsters would have him dusted for his SOUL.' Taking a gulp, Toriel knew what she had to do. She looked back up in time to see Blueberry finally hitting a button.

With Determination, Blueberry hit the ACT button. Everything inside him screamed not to FIGHT, not to hurt another. He saw no reason to when kindness could get you farther then fighting ever could. Mercy was a powerful thing that could even make Gods bow their head to. He had no idea how he knew this, only that it was important to know.

-Check  -Talk

Giving the Dummy a bright smile, he hit Talk. "Hello Dummy, it is nice to meet you!" Waving his hand in greeting, he continued. "My name is Blueberry, what is yours if you don't mind me asking?"

-The Dummy doesn't seem much for conversation.

A small pout worked it's way up Blueberry's face at what the text that formed in the box in front of him, at what the Voice had told him. That was no fun, and here he wanted to make another friend! It seems he will have to try harder then to do so. Then he paused, for some reason he thinks that someone is laughing at him right now, or is that a memory?

Flowey watched this all in shock, he was right. Blueberry never even seemed to consider fighting. He just looked at the FIGHT button in disgust, then went to press the ACT button without even glancing back at the FIGHT action. It made Flowey so happy, but so worried. Other Monsters will rip Blueberry apart without notice if they wanted to, free EXP to them, if he did not fight back. Flowey had no idea what to do feeling so torn, so he kept his mouth shut on the matter for now.

"Sweet one, you are doing it wrong." Toriel gave him a twisted smile from where she stood, gesturing to the FIGHT button. "You are supposed to FIGHT, not ACT. Try again, take your time if need be when it is your turn."

Blueberry just glanced at Toriel before turning back to the Dummy, he already knew what he was going to do next turn. And FIGHT wasn't even a option to him. But for now, it was the Dummy's turn, though Blueberry was starting to think it wasn't just a Dummy.

-.....

-The Dummy just stands there, not up for conversation.

Raising a brow at the Dummy, was it...shy? Shaking that thought off, it was now Blueberry's turn once more. And without hesitation, he hit the Mercy button. For some reason he could feel surprise emanating from the Dummy, but then it accepted the Mercy it was giving, ending the confrontation.

Waving to the Dummy one more time, Blueberry couldn't help but beam at it-or was it them? "Thank you for training with me!"

Skipping to Flowey, he picked him up and turned to Toriel. "I won Ms. Toriel-"

"Sweet One." Toriel's eyes blazed as she cut him off, but that fire just seemed to make the shadows in them look all the darker. "You can not live down here on Mercy. That is a kindness that you can afford, not with that SOUL you have."

"But they accepted my Mercy." Blueberry pouted in confusion. It seemed to work real well just now. "And no one got hurt! Why do we have to FIGHT?"

Toriel sighed sadly, reaching out a hand and softly patting the others skull. 'Such innocence...They would eat him alive...Asgore would-!' "Sweet One, we only need one more human SOUL to leave the Underground. They would dust you and take your SOUL, you must FIGHT to live, FIGHT to survive this place of Kill or be Killed."

And with that, she grabbed his hand and started dragging him into the next room. But Blueberry was more focused on her words.

'Kill or be Killed? That feels...wrong.' Blueberry glanced around, seeing dark walls and nothing but the oppressive feeling of despair. For some reason he felt that this was wrong, that everything should be brighter. But that was wrong, the truth was right in front of his face. 'But is that really the truth? Underneath all this hate and anger, there is Mercy.' He glanced up at the goat Monster, the one who took him in and is showing the ropes of the Underground. 'She doesn't notice, but she is showing me kindness and Mercy right now. I rather be killed then kill.'

Blueberry would rather be killed a thousand times then raise his hand to hurt another. Blueberry frowned, hearing something in the back of his skull. 'Is...someone crying?'

Flowey flinched as Toriel dragged Blueberry through two rooms, only stopping at a entrance into the RUINS where other Monsters also live. 'Why is it like this?' Flowey glanced up at Blueberry, who was looking at everything they pass with wonder in his sockets. 'Why do we have to have seven SOULS? Wouldn't one work as long as....'

"Here you go Sweet One." Blueberry blinked as he was handed a flip phone. Opening it, he looked up at Toriel not understanding why she gave him it. "This is so you can call me if anything goes wrong. I have to get a few things from the store, so I must ask for you to wait from me here."

Blueberry beamed up at her, making her flinch a bit. He held the phone close and nodded, showing he understood. "Okay! Thank you Ms. Toriel!"

Blueberry kept waving until she was out of sight, then he flipped open the phone. Checking it over, he saw that there was only Toriel's number in it and no other settings but call.

"Y-You should run and hide while you have the chance!" Flowey begged once more, not wanting to see this Monster get killed. "She's going to kill you!"

"Nonsense!" Blueberry brightly smiled down at the flower Monster. "Ms. Toriel has been very kind so far. And while she is very instanced on fighting, she has yet to hurt anyone."

"I have seen her kill Monsters for just getting in her way...." Flowey muttered sadly with a hint of confusion.

"How about I call her to prove to you that she isn't doing anything violent?" Blueberry hummed, pressing Toriel's number and ignoring Flowey's protests while he put the phone up to his skull.

"No! No! Don't do that-!"

"Oh, Sweet One! I was just about to call you." Toriel's voice cut through Flowey's complaints. Blueberry's face lit up, giving Flowey a look. 'See I told you everything was fine!' "Yes, how may I help you Ms. Toriel?"

"I was wondering what you liked better; Blood or Dust?" If Blueberry could, he would have paled dramatically at that question. Flowey then gave Blueberry a look that screamed 'I told you so!'. Clearing his throat, Blueberry tried to give himself more time to answer. He would rather not chance this and file it away as a joke only for someone to get hurt because of that.

'I made some butterscotch and cinnamon pie for the golden flower tea! I couldn't decide on which one to pick, so I used both.' A warm voice echoed inside his skull, making him smile. Then it hit him, why not give her a answer not in the options given. Worse case she decides to pick one out of the two herself without his input.

"I like butterscotch and cinnamon Ms. Toriel!" Blueberry told the other Monster on the line. Flowey gave a choked gasp, while a bang sounded out on the other line making Blueberry worry. "Ms. Toriel?! Is everything alright?"

"I...I am fine Sweet One..." She sounded like she was far away, like her mind was elsewhere. "I....Butterscotch and cinnamon?....I see....Thank you Sweet One...."

And with that she hung up without another word. Blueberry lifted the phone away from him, blinking at in surprise. Turning to look down at Flowey, Blueberry couldn't help but ask about what all that was. "Flowey? Did I say something wrong?"

Far away memories of better times burned at Flowey, making him wish that everything was like before. But it wasn't, and it never was going to be. "I...I think you reminded her of something is all."

"I wonder what spices and food could have reminded her of." Blueberry hummed before shrugging it off. But he was curious about who Ms. Toriel was. 'Her frayed robes had the symbol on it...I think it belongs to royalty?' "Flowey, what can you tell me about Ms. Toriel?"

"....She has been the caretaker of the RUINS for years now, greeting each human child that fell." Flowey started to explain, leaving out his involvement or connection to her. "She took care of them, was very motherly in fact before.....Before they wanted to leave..." Flowey frowned, face becoming shadowed as he thought back to the pained screams of children echoing in the RUINS.

'Motherly? Did...Do I have a Mother waiting for me?' Blueberry frowned in thought, tapping his foot. 'Ms. Toriel does seem to be very caring towards me....Would she....' "Does she like being a Mother then? Does she have any children?" Blueberry thought aloud, a idea coming to mind.

"She did, but they are gone now." Flowey softly muttered, tears forming but not falling. "And the human children have all been killed a long time ago. Honestly I think all she wants to be is a Mother again...." Flowey could see it in her insanity and unbalanced ways. Toriel really wanted to have children once more, but to her it seems they all have been taken away in someway or another, making her break all the more.

"Ah!" Flowey jolted at Blueberry's sudden gasp, watching with wide eyes as he opened the phone once more. "Then I help Ms. Toriel no matter what!"

"What to do you mean?! Don't call her again-!"

"Hello Sweet One, What is it you need?" Toriel's voice answered, voice sickeningly sweet.

"I wanted to ask you a question if that is alright." Blueberry smiled, eyes brightening when he heard her hum in agreement. "May I call you 'Mother'?"

A crash sounded out from the other side just as Flowey gave a horrified gasp. Blueberry just gave a confused frown at all of this, not seeing anything wrong. Toriel is the closes thing he has to a Mother now, and she loved being one from what he can tell...So what was the problem with calling her that as long as she was fine with it?

"You...You want me to be your Mother?!" Toriel started laughing, a twisted sound mixed with so much happiness. So much so that Blueberry couldn't find it in him to regret asking that even as something inside himself said that he was going to regret this. "Of course you can call me that My Child!"

"Thank you then Mother!" Blueberry smiled brightly, not understanding why Flowey was looking at him like he just gave Death a hug. "I excitedly await your return!"

"Then I must hurry My Child!" Toriel laughed harder. "Oh My Sweet, Innocent Child!" She hung up laughing still, making Blueberry smile. 'She sounds so happy! Maybe that will make sure nothing happens!'

"W-Why did you do that?!" Flowey cried out in panic. 'You are going to die!' "T-To call her Mother-!"

"In a way..." Blueberry hummed, walking to the next doorway. "She is the only Mother I know. I do not remember having any parents, so technically Ms. Toriel could be counted as my Mother. I chose to call her that and view her as such."

"But that doesn't mean you have to call her that!" Flowey had no idea what this Monster was thinking. Did he have a death wish?! All those human children made the same mistake, and that only upped  Toriel's 'help'. "You could have kept calling her 'Ms. Toriel'!"

"But she wouldn't be as happy as she is now." Flowey froze. "Ms-Mother sounded so happy when I asked that of her. I think all she wants is to be a mother once more." Blueberry gave a sad smile down at the still frozen Flowey. "I think loosing all her children has broken her, so I want to help her!" Determination blazed in the skeleton Monster's eyes. "And I can help better as her child then as some Monster she is helping out. Do not worry Flowey, everything will eventually be okay!"

"Y-You...want to help her...?" Flowey choked out, not understanding. To him, she was beyond all help. He just hoped that Blueberry would find that out in time to run with all he has. Then Flowey noticed that Blueberry was leaving the room. "W-Where are we going?! I thought you wanted to wait for Toriel?"

"I want to explore!" Bluebrry grinned, not mentioning something inside of him that was pulling him to do it. That something was nagging in his mind that there was much to see, and that everything will be fine. "It will be fine! We'll come back before Mother comes back, or maybe we'll find her first!"

Flowey started shaking, gulping at that very thought. 'That's what I'm afraid of...'

-With Toriel-

Large, white furry hands shook as they closed the flip phone.

Monsters cowered as the large goat Monster laughed and laughed. Her shoulders shaking and eyes watering.

'A child...A Monster child!' Toriel knew humans don't live as long as Monsters, they run on magic after all, not organs that can stop at any moment. To have a Monster child would be the best for her, one that can't die or be taken away from her easily. Sure, he had a human SOUL, but seeing him you wouldn't be able to tell straight off the bat.

To be a Mother was all Toriel ever wanted. Children gave her a joy unlike any other. They filled her SOUL with a soft feeling that should have died years ago. And while Blueberry is fully grown, he is clueless about how everything works and is much younger then her. He is practically a child to her, and one that wants her to be his Mother.

'He wants me to be his Mother.' Toriel smiled wide, eyes brightening. 'My Sweet Child, he wants me to be his Mother.' It just repeated over and over in her mind, that Blueberry wanted her to be his Mother. None of the other children asked that of her besides the first, she just called them her children from the start. And the one time she doesn't do it, is the time he wants to be called that. It made her SOUL dance, something it hasn't done in years.

She would not fail this one, one that can stay with her for years unlike a human one can. One that gives her bright smiles that remind her of happier times.

Buying the items she needed, it was only when she saw the spider spun fabrics that she was hit with a idea. As her child, Blueberry would need it. And what he is wearing is torn too much for her child to be wearing as he ran about to play. What if he caught a cold?!

Besides, her Sweet Child needed to be recognized as her's. It wouldn't do if other Monsters got the idea to take him from her.

"I need some rolls of fabric. Red and-" Toriel cut herself off, eyes glazing for a moment before shaking her head. "No, rolls of blues and whites, and only a little of black, gold and red."

Her Sweet, Innocent Child would look much better in lighter colors then the darker ones usually used. But that was okay, maybe lighter would be best to make a statement. Blueberry did look better in that light blue scarf after all. 'Yes, lighter colors will work. He should be wearing them and not be forced to hide in the shadows like the rest of Monsters.'

As the Child of Hope should, she supposed.

-With Blueberry And Flowey-

"W-What is going on...?" Blueberry cried softly, hand softly touching the light blue flower on his skull. "I-I don't understand! I died!"

At first, everything was fine when Blueberry and Flowey first left.

They ran into a few Froggets, but Blueberry was able to talk his way into them accepting his Mercy, even if the Froggets looked so confused while they did so. It didn't help when Blueberry's SOUL was forced out, making them attack and FIGHT all the harder, only to stop once Blueberry was able to convince them not to go on - seeing that the skeleton Monster meant no harm.

-Unknown to Blueberry and Flowey though, the Froggets all talked about in hush whispers about the Monster who gave them Mercy, one with a human SOUL to boot. No LV or EXP, unheard of! But it is true, so they decided to keep a ear out for now, waiting and watching. How do you think they themselves survived this long living in the same place as Toriel? By waiting and seeing how it all plays out.-

After a few more Monsters and a SAVE point, it was when Blueberry was pulled into a confrontation with one very angry ghost that his world was shattered like his SOUL.

Napstablook was a black ghost with red eyes and a angry frown. Blueberry tried to do what he did to all the other Monsters he ran into, talk to him. But it wasn't enough. More and more attacks hit his SOUL, making his HP lower further and further. Before the last one hit, he was able to smile, making Flowey scream and Napstablook freeze as his SOUL finally shattered.

What Blueberry did not expect was being in front of the last SAVE point not too far from where he met Napstablook, flower growing out of his skull. And tugging at it only hurt him more then ever.

"I....The flower curse!" Flowey cried with Blueberry. "The first human child that fell had it too, every time they died, everything RESET....But your flowers are different..." Flowey took in a deep breath, picturing the flowers in his mind. "They were bright red...Ranunculus, buttercups...Persian Buttercups...."

Flowey can still see those bright red flowers over taking their whole face even as they smiled at him. 'One more time! I'm sure I can get it right next time!'

"I-I'm cursed?" Blueberry took in a deep breath, trying to calm his mind and SOUL. "W-Why?"

"Determination I think..." Flowey bitterly smiled. "But Determination was not built for a Monster, nor does it come cheap."

"T-Then all I have to do it make sure I don't die!" Blueberry beamed up, pushing his negative thoughts away. "If I don't die, then no more flowers right?"

"Blueberry, maybe you should start...FIGHTING." Blueberry jolted, looking at the flower in shock. Flowey sniffed, wiping his eyes with his leaves. "I...I don't want you to-to be covered in flowers!"

"Flowey...." Blueberry frowned in concern before determinedly shaking his head. "No! I refuse to FIGHT! MERCY is the only way for me to do this, to get out of here. And if I die more to show the other Monsters this, then so be it."

Flowey laughed, it's broken sound sounding out, echoing across the dark room. 'Just like them....I...I hope it doesn't come to....' "So be it." Flowey whispered back. Blueberry gave a soft smile, picking him up to go back into the room. 'I want this one to have a different ending!'

"By the way Flowey," Flowey glanced up to Blueberry, sad confusion on his face. "do you know what kind of flower is on my skull?"

Taking a look at the light blue flower, Flowey thought back to his Father's books. He always had a soft spot for flowers, and he kept many journals and books. Some found in the dump, others kept from before they were forced down into the Underground. It only hurt Flowey all the more once he realized what kind of flower was on Blueberry.

"Bella Delphinium." Flowey's horrified whisper might as well have been a scream. "Belladonna Delphinium."

Such a beautiful flower. But the more beautiful one is, the more deadly they are.

-With Toriel A Hour Later-

"That should be everything." Toriel hummed as she glanced down to the bags in her arms and on her shoulder. "Now to get-My Child?!" Toriel nearly dropped her bags at finding Blueberry in the cave like room just outside the makeshift store. "What are you doing here?!"

"Hello Mother!" Blueberry waved excitdly as he bounced up to her, starry eyes shinning extra bright. "I wanted to explore for a bit." He winked up at her. "And surprise you! Did I?"

"Yes My Sweet Child, but you should have-" She cut off once she got a better look at Blueberry. He looked exactly the same before she had left, or would have if not for the flowers on his skull. 'Where did he get Belladonna's? let alone find them down here....Did he always have them?'

They were smalls flowers, but there were so many on the left side of his skull, gathered into a small bunch. At least a dozen if not more, but as they were so tiny it was hard to tell. They were a pretty light blue, in fact they gave Blueberry a more innocent look. But Toriel could feel something...off about it. It was like there was a memory or something she knew about it, but forgot. It swam in the back of her mind, nagging at her.

"Oh!" Blueberry smile dimmed as he lightly touched the flowers on him. Flowey sniffed, hiding his face once more, pained and broken. "Do you like them Mother?"

"They are beautiful My Sweet Child." Toriel brushed off the feeling it gave her, and decided not to question her Child on it. For all she knew it was a normal thing for him. He did come from the surface, and had a human SOUL, so it was not impossible. "But now is time to go home, you can play at a later time."

"Okay! I can't wait to see our home!" 'Our home.' That warmed Toriel up, a soft feeling crept up her SOUL. "Do you need any help with the bags Mother?"

"No My Child, I do not." Toriel chuckled at the little skeleton's concern. 'How long has it been?' Toriel then turned, listening closely to the footsteps following her. It calmed her yet excited her beyond all measures.

'How long has it been since I have been a Mother, a true Mother?'

"What did you do on your adventure My Sweet Child?" Toriel softly questioned as they walked to her-their house. It wasn't too far from the store, only a few minutes.

"I made friends with a ghost!" Blueberry beamed up her as he skipped along. Flowey groaned, remembering how many times Blueberry had died to just make the Monster accept Mercy.

"I see-Wait, what?!" Toriel's neck cracked from how fast she turned it to look down at Blueberry in shock. The only ghost Monster she knew that came around here was Napstablook, and he was not a happy one. In fact, he had tried to kill her before, but she showed him that wasn't going to happen anytime soon. So why does Blueberry think they are friends?

"He was a little angry at first, but then I lifted his spirits!" Blueberry winked at the punch line. Flowey groaning once again, not from memories, but from the corny joke.

A shocked laugh escaped Toriel, not expecting the pun to come out. "I-hahaha-I'm sure it-snort-did!"

All Flowey could do was look at Toriel with shock as the two Monsters walked. How long has it been since he had heard her laughter, not from torturer or hurting another, but genuine happy laughter at a simple joke?

'Maybe...' Flowey glanced up at Blueberry's laughing face. 'Maybe he's the reason....Maybe it will be alright in the end....'

"Here we are My Child." Toriel opened the door, letting Blueberry walk in before her. "Here is your new home."

Sitting the bags down for now, she watched amused as Blueberry started trying to look at everything at the same time. 'Just like a hyperactive child.' Toriel snorted before going to the stairs. "Come My Child, I will show you to your room. You must be tired after such a long day."

"Thank you Mother!" Blueberry thanked as he followed her up. Glancing around as they moved up the admittedly nice sized house, he saw a lot of random things. A few vases, one or two paintings that had stains on them - Stains that Blueberry did not want to know where they came from, or out of. - and a few bookcases filled with books of all colors.

"Here we are My Child." Toriel opened the door then stepped aside for Blueberry to go in. "I'll leave you to rest. I will be downstairs if you need me."

"Thank you Mother!" Blueberry called out as she shut the door. He listened to her footsteps fading until he heard them no more. Blueberry then turned to look around the room, Flowey in hold.

"This doesn't look so bad, right Flowey?" Blueberry asked as he sat Flowey down the the nightstand. "Everything will be fine!" Blueberry cheered, going to look on the shelves and chest in the room.

"For now. But it will all change once you tell her you want to leave." Flowey muttered to himself. While he was shocked by how Toriel was acting, it will all be the same in the end. Give them pie, and once they want to leave she snaps and tries to kill them off. Nothing will change that, not even a Determined SOUL. "She is going to kill you, adding even more flowers to your skull."

Flowey jerked out of his depressing thoughts when Blueberry gave a gasp. "Flowey! Look what I found!" Flowey barely had time to blink before a small flower pot was shoved in front of his face. "This will be better then that old, dirty boot!"

"..T-Thank you." Flowey mumbled while Blueberry gently planted him into the pot. "I-I like it." Flowey's cheek brightened as he glanced away from the bright smile directed at him.

"You are welcome!" Blueberry laughed before going back to exploring the room.

Opening the drawers in the dressers, Blueberry was greeted with stripes. Lifting up the piece of fabric, he found it to be a light green and yellow stripped sweater. Looking further in the drawers he found a black and red stripped sweater, and a few other sweaters with strips also in various colors. Putting the sweater back, he opened the next drawer to find it filled with children's shoes.

Now that alone should have raised some red flags, but Blueberry ignored it. Flowey has admitted that she took care of the human children that fell; So why shouldn't she have children clothes and shoes here? It was logical to him, even as if he was feeling like someone was face palming somewhere.

'Y-U --E T-O in-Oc--T!'

'M- b-o i- --e be--.'

Sighing, Blueberry went back to the bed to lie down for a bit. Maybe he was hearing things because he was tired? Taking off his boots and socks, and folding up his scarf but keeping it close and within reach, Blueberry then laid down and shut his eye sockets.

'Fl-f-y Bu--y li-v-d un-e- a lar-- o-k tre-- ____'

A half broken story lured him to sleep, a smile on his face.

-A Few Hours Later-

The smell of something burning greeted Blueberry when he sleepily opened his sockets. It took him a few seconds to remember where he was, and that's when the smell hit him.

'A FIRE?!' Blueberry jumped up, but then quickly calmed down when he saw the room was not set ablaze. Never mind that he had a vague thought of cooking lessons and houses on fire.

'M-RE PASS--N!'

Pushing that thought away he glanced over to see Flowey slowly waking up. Knowing he won't get anymore sleep, Blueberry put back on his boots and socks, waiting for Flowey to fully wake up.

"Hmmm....Blueberry?" Flowey yawned, rubbing the water out of his eyes. "What's that smell?"

"I have no idea." Blueberry quietly said back, going to put up the potted plant Monster. "But why don't we go find out?" He asked as he lifted Flowey up and started to the door. Flowey just hummed sleepily, not really caring.

It was only as Blueberry went down the stairs and stepped into the living room when Flowey finally remembered where they were at. He nearly screamed when he saw Toriel sitting in her rocking chair by the fireplace, hand stitching some fabric together. But when he saw the colors of the fabric - light blue, white, and gold - did he stop. The colors everyone wore where black, red and gold. Darker colors not lighter ones. This is different then with all the other children.

"Mother?" Blueberry questioned as he walked closer, only pausing once Toriel looked up with a happy beam and grin.

"Oh! My Sweet Child you are awake!" Toriel giggled, looking to the fabric in her lap. "And just in time too!" She quickly handed the bundle of clothing to Blueberry, making him stumble back from the unexpected move. "Please go change into this in the hallway, you shouldn't be wearing such ragged clothing!" Then she glanced to his battered boots. "The boots as well, I will make you some new shoes or buy some later."

Flowey and Blueberry glanced at one another before Blueberry shrugged and sat Flowey down, going into the hallway to change into the new clothes. The sound of clothing shifting and light thuds filled the air while Flowey awkwardly looked away from the very excited Toriel.

"Are you sure it's okay to wear this?" Blueberry questioned softly as he shuffled back into the living room. Flowey's eyes widened and gaped while Toriel clapped her hands in delight.

Blueberry now wore a robe like Toriel's only in different colors. He had on a long sleeved shirt, the ends of them loose and open. His pants were baggy but tight at the end unlike the sleeves. The robe over top of the shirt and pants was a light blue color, lined with the color gold. The slit of the robe went up to his thighs. The royal symbol on his chest was a darker blue color with the symbols inside the dark blue heart white. On the back of the robe was a different symbol, one that was also darker color mixing with white and black. The symbol of the Child of Hope, the last one to wear said symbol was the first fallen human. To finish off the look, Blueberry still had on his long scarf.

"Oh My Child!" Toriel softly cried in pure happiness. "Of course it is okay! You are my son now, and the others must know this."

"Thank you then Mother!" Blueberry thanked, hands gently touching the soft fabric. "It is very well done!" For some reason he could hear a laugh sounding out, clicking of wooden needles and see button eyes starring at him. But the laugh was different, like the person's voice was changing at a rapid pace.

"Your welcome My Sweet Child." Toriel smiled gently, getting up and starting to lead Blueberry to the kitchen. "I have made some pie if you want a slice."

Quickly picking up Flowey, Blueberry hurried after her. "What kind Mother?"

"Butterscotch and cinnamon My Sweet Child."

Flowey didn't know if he wanted to cry or scream. This was so different from the Toriel he knew....But so much like the Mother he once knew. Blueberry may not know it, but with those two symbols and clothing style he was wearing no one would touch him until they knew for sure he had a human SOUL in the RUINS. But out of the RUINS he would be fair game, in fact everyone would be after to capture him as he is wearing not just a royal symbol but the Queen's. Asgore would do anything to know where his wife was, and the guards would hunt him down all the harder if they saw his SOUL as well.

If Blueberry ever left the RUINS, his clothing would insure his capture if not death if the other Monsters find it offensive or hate the Queen enough for leaving them all.

-Late At Night/Very Early Morning-

Blueberry smiled softly as he adventured around his new home. His new Mother was not up yet and Flowey was still sleeping as he had gotten up at a very early or late time depending on how you look at it, so he decided to check around the house to get a feel for it.

Last night had been fun. Sure the pie had been burnt and crusty, but it was still so delicious because Toriel had put all her love into it. So he ate every single bit and even more then one piece until he couldn't have another. After that she had read him to sleep, a book about snails and all the facts on them. And while he kept hearing another voice telling him a story about a fluffy bunny, he loved the feeling of being read to sleep.

But for now, he couldn't sleep. And before he knew it, he was going down the stairs to see what was below the house he has decided to call home.

Big doors greeted him, locked tightly and shut. Pressing lightly on them, Blueberry knew that they would not budge unless he had the key to them. Deciding to not mess with them, he turned to leave only for a muffled voice to catch his attention.

"-SSHOLE! I, mean I do everything I can-!"

Pressing his skull onto the door softly, he could hear a deep rough voice ranting about something.

"I HATE THIS! Why can't he just go to hell?! Shove that bone attack right up his-!"

A really not happy deep rough voice ranting about somebody Blueberry corrected.

Now Blueberry had a few choices here. First, he could quietly back away and pretend this never happened. Which he could not in good conscious do, so that was out. Second was try to do something to help. But what could he do? The door was locked. What could he do-

'I-----knock---ock--okes.'

Without even thinking about it, Blueberry lifted his hand and knocked on the big arching doors clearly and loud enough for the person on the other side to hear.

Immediate silence. A long minute passed, making Blueberry think that the other person had left, only to jolt to attention when the voice growled out, sounding closer then before.

"What the fuck was that?!" The voice sounded confused, yet Blueberry bit his tongue so he didn't scold the other for their language. "Where are you, you spying little fucker-!"

Instead, Blueberry took in a deep breath to calm himself. Then he brightly smiled as if the other person could see.

"Your supposed to say; Who's there?"

-End Chapter-

Belladonna Delphinium or Bella Delphinium live up to two or three years. They hold the meaning and symbolization of openness to new experiences, overall positivity, cheerfulness and goodwill.

Light blue symbolize youth and renewal.

Blue symbolize dignity.

Belladonna Delphinium is in the buttercup family and are poisonous.

Burning in mouth and throat, confusion, dizziness, headaches and vomiting. For severe poisoning; Breathing difficulty, then paralysis. And then followed by convulsions and death from asphyxiation and circulatory failure.

I wanted Blueberry to have different flowers as he is different from Frisk. The flowers are still in the same family though and are still poisonous. Having said that, these flowers can be found in gardens; So please do not ingest them. You can get poisoned and die if ingested enough and left alone.
